Would it be Scott Brown? Congressmen Markey or Capuano? Tell us who you think should run.
The Washington Post is reporting that President Obama is considering appointing Massachusetts U.S. Sen. John Kerry as the Secretary of Defense. There was speculation Kerry would become the next Secretary of State. Either way Kerry's move to possibly become a member of Obama's cabinet will open up his current seat. Should he be appointed, a special election would be held to finish out Kerry's term, which expires in 2014.

Editor, Promises made, promises kept! The reasons I will vote for President Obama in the March 6 Democratic Presidential Primary election are many. I ask, are you better off than you were 4 years ago? I know I am. 1. Obama passed the Affordable Healthcare Act. As a cancer survivor, I can no longer be denied healthcare because of a pre-existing condition, women's healthcare is guaranteed, and kids can stay on their parents' insurance until they're 26. 2. Obama helped add over 3 million new jobs in the private business sector, unemployment is dropping, and the stock market recently topped 13k. America is coming back stronger than ever. 3. Obama fights for middle class, Main Street Americans to keep their homes . Just this week I was…
